Glasgow
Web design in Glasgow, built by the person you speak to.
Websites and custom systems for Glasgow businesses — hand-built rather than assembled from a template, priced before the work starts, and handled start to finish by one person. Two of the projects below are for Glasgow companies, so you can see the actual work rather than take a claim about it.
Glasgow work
Two Glasgow businesses, two very different problems.
Both are live, both are documented in full, and both are linked so you can go and use them yourself.
Website + Quotation & Video Survey Web App
TransScot Removals
A Glasgow and Lanarkshire removals company’s website, paired with a custom quoting and video-survey system.
Website + Photo-Led Quote System
Block & Bolt
A Glasgow home-repairs company’s website, built around a quote request that asks for photographs instead of a phone call.
Local Service Website + Area SEO
Avram Metals
A Glasgow scrap metal collector’s website: one van, one number, and a page for every item and every town it drives to.
Speed
The fastest site we can show you is this one.
Every studio claims to build fast websites. Most of the claims are untestable. This one isn’t — the numbers below were measured on the page you are reading, and you can check them yourself in about thirty seconds.
Put aleksiodigital.com into Google PageSpeed Insights. Then put in the site of whoever else you’re considering. It’s the same test either way.
- 0.3sLargest Contentful Paint
- The moment the main content is readable, on a normal broadband connection.
- 0.1sServer response
- Time to first byte. Pages are pre-rendered, so there is no database waiting to be asked.
- 0Layout shift
- Nothing moves as the page loads. No text jumping out from under your thumb.
Measured on the live site, 14 August 2026. On a deliberately punishing test — a mid-range phone on 4G with the processor slowed fourfold — the same page still renders in 2.6 seconds, inside Google’s “good” threshold. Speed isn’t a feature here; it’s what hand-building instead of assembling gets you.
Working with a Glasgow studio, in practice.
- Are you actually in Glasgow?
- Based in Scotland and working across the Central Belt and the wider UK. Glasgow clients are a large part of the work — TransScot and Block & Bolt both operate here. Most projects run remotely, because clear conversation matters far more than being in the same room, but meeting in person is straightforward if you would rather.
- Who will I be dealing with?
- George, throughout. There is no account manager in between, nothing passed to a third party, and no junior learning on your budget. The person who answers your first email is the person who builds the site.
- What does it cost?
- Websites start at £595, and the starting points are published rather than hidden behind a call. Custom systems are scoped individually. Everything is agreed in writing before any work begins.
- Do you build WordPress sites?
- Where a business needs to edit its own content regularly, yes — set up lean and kept fast, as on TransScot. Where it doesn’t, a hand-built site usually serves better, and we’ll say so. There’s a straight explanation on the WordPress web design in Glasgow page.
Before you ask
The questions that usually come next.
Straight answers on time, money and what you end up owning.
See all the questions01How long does it take?
A smaller website is usually about a week, measured from the point everything is ready — your text, photos and any brand assets in hand. Custom systems like booking or quoting tools take up to four weeks. In practice the honest variable is how quickly content comes back; that stretches timelines far more often than the build does.
02How does payment work?
Half up front to start the work, and the remaining half on the day the site goes live. Nothing in between, and no charges you haven't already seen on the quote. Ownership transfers with that final payment.
03Do I own the website?
Yes — outright, on final payment. That covers the design, the code written for your project and your content. Your domain is registered in your name, so you control the address itself and can take it elsewhere whenever you like. The underlying open-source frameworks stay under their own licences, as they do for any website. The only thing kept back is the right to show the work here as a case study.
04Can I update the site myself?
Sites here are hand-built rather than assembled in a page builder, so there is no admin panel by default — changes come through me. Small tweaks are covered by the care plan, and where you'll be updating something regularly, I build a proper interface for exactly that. If managing all your own content day to day matters to you, say so at the start: it's a reasonable thing to want, and it changes how the site should be built.
05What does hosting cost after the first year?
The first year of hosting is included. After that it's £65 a year for hosting on its own, or £180 a year for a care plan — hosting plus small tweaks and ongoing updates as you need them. Your domain renews separately and stays registered in your name. There's no obligation to take either: you own the site and can host it wherever you want.
06Do you outsource the work?
No. Every project is handled directly by George, from the first conversation through to launch. There's no account manager in between and no work passed to a third party.
